Discharge and swelling

Hello

I'm 31 weeks and a ftm. I'm not really the anxious type and have been pretty chilled out this pregnancy but have become a little unsettled today. I have been having more discharge / leaking than usual. It looks clear on my underwear but when I wipe it's sometimes a fairly bright yellow colour. I also had hugely swollen vagina lips for a few hours today but then it went away. What's happening to me... is this normal?

I doubt it's my waters trickling because wouldn't that only be if I was lying down? Baby is moving around plenty. Wwyd - leave it and see what happens, or ring someone? I don't have 'a' midwife so the only phone number I have is triage and I feel daft calling that number for something which isn't an emergency!

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Waters smell like semen, so if it doesn't smell, it's probably just cervical mucus.
You tend to get a lot more in pregnancy and the swollen labia could also be due to hormone changes.

If you're ever at all worried, always seek advice. They will always take the time to listen and reassure you and trust me, they won't think you're being silly.
I was always told by triage that they'd rather you come 100 times and nothing be wrong than not come that 1 time that something is.
